Earlier that day, a girl named Kailyn Ferrara posted a video she filmed of herself running into Justin Bieber on the street, approaching him and trying to take a selfie with him while his bodyguard asked her firmly not to.

The timing of the two incidents led fans to believe that Kailyn was to blame and they lashed out at her in the comments of her video.

Now, Kailyn is speaking out. In an interview with Mix 104.1's Karson and Kennedy show, Kailyn tried to explain her behavior that night. "I got really excited because I couldn't believe it was really [Justin], so my first instinct was 'I need to give him a hug', so I walked over and I gave him a hug. I put my phone up and he didn't like that… The security guard said, 'You shouldn't do that without asking first.'"
